sorted bySome of those seats in the circle are high and very very steep.
not great for some scenes.
Firstly, the £15 seats are very high up and there is very, very little leg room. I was sat right at the front, overlooking the balcony, so some of the stage was blocked by some lighting. Luckily, some people who were meant to sit next to me were TOO YOUNG to sit that high on their own so were moved elsewhere, which meant I could stretch out a bit. I would suggest that if you are tall, a larger person, prone to achey joints- go for some higher priced seats.
For the front row, naturally it was a much better view but as it's a high stage, you still had some of the back of the stage cut off- not a massive issue but some "effects" do take place at the back. If you're short, like my partner was, you might have to sit up a little to see those properly. All the leg room you could wish for too.
No Harry Potter *book* fan worth their salt thinks this story is canon, in any way. The story itself is a bad fan fiction, I honestly have no idea why or how JK Rowling $igned off on it. With that said, the production was fantastic both times, the effects I've never seen on stage and I would happily go watch it a third time (just not in the nosebleed seats). Both times the actor for Scorpius has stolen the show- everyone else is great too, but Scorpius takes the biscuit. I'd say if you have watched the films or read the books it's worth seeing at least once. Oh, also if you're going to buy merch- wait until Part 2 before you decide anything.
There's a lot of fans in chronic denial then, given that it absolutely is canon., and they're in the early stages of developing a film version of it.
Nice of you to speak for all of us though. I worried for a minute that some of us might have differing opinions!
Although yeah I do think it could have been directed a bit better. Like lots of people can't see the edges of the stage, and some of the front, so why then have the actors stand at the sides of the stage when theres nothing going on in the middle?? Have them stand in the middle whenever possible and only use the edges when needed. It just comes across like the director has never sat anywhere other than in the very best seats, which is probably true but you'd expect them to check what the view is like of their show from the "bad" seats too. Just seems low effort thats all which is weird because the show is really well done otherwise.
My daughter loves Potter so probably will still take her, just looked at seating, is garbage for £15 like you'd expect, can get decent seats for 80-100
Out of interest, are seats in the stalls better for kids? I looked at taking the family to see Grease last year, but it would have cost nearly £800 for 4 decent seats! Do people actually pay that, or am I missing a trick when it comes to family trips to the theatre?
If you are outside London try your local theatre. Mine has brilliant shows and often sell tickets on front two rows for just £12 which is superb value and often a better experience than the West End. (edited)
A must watch if you're even slightly interested
Also quite a few front and 2nd row balcony seats for £15 (edited)
Not a great story, either. The practical magic effects are good, and that's about it.
Part 2 is a bit naff. But the ending of part 1 is epic
I recommend if you are interested in potter
They make it sound so unappealing. If its anything like the theatre that shows/showed Aladdin, then that was the worst 2 hours+ I've ever had to sit through
Not sure how it got so hot.
I didnt mind the story, but im not a huge Potterhead so wasnt that protective of the canon.
